rman backup readonly

[maswien]

When I backup a database at level 0, I want rman backup everything including the readonly datafiles too. It seems it's not and I don't know how to force it to, since the backup tape will be recycled once a while, we need the readonly datafiles written to the tapes too when the oldest tape is recycled.

Thanks for the advice!

my mistake,

The backup does include the readonly datafiles, what I really mean is the rman restore should include the readonly rather than give me a message like:

'datafile ... is not processed because the file is readonly'

Try adding the clause "check readonly" to your "restore database" command.
